Picasa Gallery Browser

[b4pjoe]

I have been trying to get this to work (great app), I have put in my (what I think is my ID) in the "Enter Picasa Account ID" and I have the Picsa public gallery setup and my URL is correct, but I still don't get the gallery in SMF.  What am I doing wrong.

public gallery (just one photo now):  http://picasaweb.google.com/PSMVCC

Remove the /PSMVCC from the Picasa Server URL so it is just http://picasaweb.google.com

Thanks, this is a great mod, love it.

Hello,

Great mod!

How can I change the menu tab text to read only "Gallery" ?

Thank you.

You need to edit your language file.
The name of this file depends on what language and character set you are using.
For example for English this file could be Modifications.english.php which is found in  /Themes/default/languages/
find the code

Code Select Expand


$txt['picasa_gallery'] = 'Picasa Gallery';

and change the text in quotes to whatever you want.
P.S.
Please backup your files before modifying.

Hi PJ,

This looks like a great mod, and it's getting rave review here in the thread.  I'm wondering if there's any possibility of linking a demosite, though.  The images posted with the mod are not very large and I'd like a better idea of how it works and looks when integrated into SMF.

Thanks,
Met

Galler-E not iGallery

[Sakae]

Awesome mod, great job, thank you!!!

I would like to install more than just one Picasa Gallery, is that possible?

I mean, I have three galleries, and would like to show all them embedded in my website...

Up (not down)

[PJLawrence]

Sakae, sorry but the current version does not support multiple Picasa gallerys. This would require some re-work of the PHP code. This is possibly a project for someone else.  I have no objections to someone modifying my mod and posting their own version to the SMF form.

Metok,
It is possible to change the size of the thumb nail images. However, it requires a manual change to the php code. If you're interested I can post details.

Oh, ok, Lawrence. I solved in a hard way, duplicating PicasaGalleryBrowser.php and PicasaGallery.template.php, modifying some data into it.

Kinda works, not very well, but it does.

[PJLawrence]

Sakae. it looks very good. I think if you modify the code so that you use only one version of the php and template php code and add the extra options to the admin setup. You should be able to submit it to the SMF website as your own mod.

Ok, thanks for the green light, I'll think about it. If I did so, I'll contact you to submit as a update for Picasa Gallery Browser mod.

Hi! Very nice mod, congratulations!

I've been having trouble installing this mod manually because I'm using a custom theme, so there are entries that are missing in my index.template.php. More specifically this one:

Code Select Expand

$current_action = 'admin';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array(

I've tried different ways to install it, with no success. So, please, if someone could help me to modify my index.template.php in order to install this modification, I'll be very thankful .

I've attached my index.template.php.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Also and offtopic :p. I have two questions: how many pictures can I upload to a Picasa album? Is there a restricting size per account?

[PJLawrence]

Herr_Inoddorell, which version of SMF are you using 1.1 or 2?
I don't think there's an album limit, just a Picasa account  limit which is based on disk space usage.  Typically 1GB for the free account.

Ah, OK. Thank you so much for answer .

I'm using 1.1.10 .

[PJLawrence]

Herr_Inoddorell, how good is your PHP?
I've taken a quick look at your theme template and there could be two locations where you may need to add a button,  template_main_above() and/or template_menu().
Normally you only need to update one section of code in template_menu.
basically you need to add a button(s) which references ?action=picasagallerybrowser
Some outline instructions can be found here ...

[Herr_Inoddorell]

I have nothing PHP, I make every changes by, lets say, method of trial and error . But well, I'm progressively understanding how these things work around, that's something good, I think .

I've seen that post above. So you mean that only I have to add a button in my index.template.php? If it's that only, I could do it .

Thanks for your reply!

[PJLawrence]

Herr_Inoddorell, It's probably better that you make the changes. Since you can do the changes and test that all things still work as they should.
Someone else could do it but if they don't have the theme install they can't check its functionality. Beside this way you learn some coding and will be better able to maintain your forum.
SMF 2 is a bit better since it allows mods to add buttons to any theme where SMF 1 mods can only add buttons easily to the default theme.

[Herr_Inoddorell]

Yes I know it .

I thought that there was something else than adding a button, because of that missing entry in my index.template file that I posted above, so that's why I asked . I'm going to do it.

Thank you very much for your help

[Herr_Inoddorell]

So, I installed it a few days ago, and fits my needs perfectly!!

Great mod, here's my little translation to Spanish that I made for it (more specifically, for the spanish_es package).

In $languagedir/Modifications.spanish_es.php:

Find:

Code Select Expand

?>

Add before:

Code Select Expand

// PJL : Start of Picasa Gallery Mod.
$txt['picasa_gallery'] = 'Galeria Picasa';

$txt['no_picasa_photos'] = 'No se encontraron fotos.';
$txt['no_picasa_albums'] = 'No se encontraron albumes.';

$txt['picasa_album'] = 'Album: ';
